How To Test and Replace an Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Ep29

G’day guys and welcome back to another episode of Red Pill Garage. In today’s episode I'm going to teach you guys how to properly diagnose a bad engine coolant temperature sensor, also commonly known as ECT sensor or CTS coolant temperature sensor. Now you’re probably thinking what is a coolant temp sensor and how do I know if I have a bad coolant temperature sensor. Well, the purpose of the coolant temp sensor is basically to monitor the temperature of the engine and radiator coolant, and sends the signal back to the ECU or electronic control unit or commonly known as the main computer.
Do you remember back in the day when things were made by hand and mechanics took pride in their work?
Hi and welcome to my channel, Red Pill Garage. Learn how to fix your car from a long-time honest mechanic who takes pride in his work. I have been a mechanic for over 30 years, and now it is time to share my knowledge with you and save you money, by teaching you to repair your own car, and not be ripped off by dodgy mechanics.
You will learn how to fix your own car with easy step-by-step instructions from me and it will consist of things, from changing wheels to timing belt replacement and all in between. I will record videos in my shop and post them, each video will be recorded by me alone with a little help from my wife, edited, and published from all my own work.
